"It was about time to end this battle. Blastoise, use Water Cannon," Du Cang said calmly.
Amid the chaotic melee, Blastoise bore signs of being attacked, with quite a few wounds on its body, but it was still in excellent spirits.
It stood firmly in place, rooted to the ground like a verdant pine.
The twin cannons in its shell aimed at the two Pokémon not far away. With a tremor, the energy within Blastoise surged wildly.
Invisible streams of water began to envelop its body, followed by enormous Water Pillars blasting from its twin cannons.
"Bang!!"
The Water Pillars were huge, thick, and incredibly fast, with a locking effect of their own.
Steelix and Hitmonchan failed to dodge in time and were struck head-on, sent flying before crashing into the ground and scraping away a layer of turf.
Steelix and Hitmonchan only felt that the impact was overwhelmingly powerful, as though their internal organs were about to be shattered.
They struggled on the ground, trying to get back up, but they simply could not do it. The pain was unbearable.
In the end, their bodies could no longer endure it. They collapsed to the ground and lost their ability to battle.
"Steelix, Hitmonchan!!" Teng Kong shouted in panic.
With that single blast, his two strongest Pokémon had lost their ability to battle.
He had originally planned to use his other Pokémon's moves to tie down Blastoise and prevent it from attacking, then focus on defeating the other Pokémon before dealing with Blastoise last.
But while his plan had been good and his ideals beautiful, reality was harsh. Even if Blastoise was restrained, his other Pokémon were still no match for the opponents.
It could be said that he had been completely suppressed. He could only barely hold on.
